It's rocky. It's cold. The sand is really pebbles. Who cares?!?! Go to the beach! Pull your car right up to the 'sand' and bring drinks or a picnic. One of the best spots for watching the sunset during the summer months. There's also a saltwater pond if you prefer warmer still water. Bring beach towels and water shoes. Bonfires permissible.
